False positive?

[fabricesemti80]

Summary

Logged an issue on Megalinter (oxsecurity/megalinter#1828), but been directed to the linter by them.

I think this linter error is a false positive.

   INFO     Executing syntax check on provision/ansible/playbooks/cluster-prepare.yml (2.52s)
  WARNING  Listing 1 violation(s) that are fatal
  syntax-check: couldn't resolve module/action 'community.general.timezone'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.
  provision/ansible/playbooks/cluster-prepare.yml:15:11 ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'community.general.timezone'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.
  
  The error appears to be in '/github/workspace/provision/ansible/playbooks/cluster-prepare.yml': line 15, column 11, but may
  be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
  
  The offending line appears to be:
  
        block:
          - name: Locale | Set timezone
            ^ here
  
  
  Error: syntax-check couldn't resolve module/action 'community.general.timezone'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

This is not a bug, you must declare your dependencies inside a requirements.yml file so the linter would find them.
